  2. PS4, or PS4S (might struggle to get 18" sizes), or Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport.

  4. I used to run PS2 15yrs ago on my 172 Cup. Great tyres then. Bit old hat now. PS4 will be best in cold/wet.

  9. In 225 the best road tyre you can get imo is the Goodyear supersports. £79 each at Camskill. Or go for the Michelin PS4 if you want something slightly less "sporty" but slightly more comfortable and harder wearing than the supersports. £82 each for those.

  11. +1 on the Goodyear F1 Supersports. The Goodyear F1 Assymetrics are excellent as well
     
  12. +2. Goodyear F1 supersports for me too.
     
  13. What I'm running too. Good tyres but do wear faster than PS4 I had previously.

  16. Search on here - there was a review somewhere. The RS is a more serious race tyre and the R is better for the road, as I understand it. The Assymetric 5 should be quality as well and Looks like they were doing a multi buy deal on Blackcircles

  17. I just checked - I had the normal Supersports fitted, not the R or the RS version - they both more track focussed. Have a look on Goodyear’s website. Tells you more about them

    i was going to go with the asymmetric 5 eagle f1 super sport i’ll give black circles a ring tmrw and discuss it with them thanks again billy [emoji120]

  19. stick with f1 supersport as also gives outstanding wet control, the goodyear ays 5 was their 'learning tyre' in attempt to catch up with Michelin's PS4 and then PS4S which they've easily done with supersport

    just been reading all the reviews on black circles website on all the tyres mentioned above but it’s very mixed reviews there is a lot of hype for the PS4 so i’m torn between the PS4,or the eagle f1 not much difference in price either so i’ll ring black circles tmrw and discuss it with them and thanks for all positive feedback [emoji120]

  21. two ways look at this...speak to tyre seller whose knowledge and priority is in selling tyres and near zero knowledge on their abilities or....take advice from folk who've done all the research over many years, use these tyres and many others all time...it's kind of what forums are for really

  22. If it's performance you want go for the Supersport which are direct competition for the PS4S but at a much better price. If you want a bit more longevity and tyre that still operates very well in the winter go for the PS4. Either way I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Would only call blackcircles to discuss price, you'll get much better advice on here. Goodluck.

  24. 100% you have to try the Asymmetric 5's, they are so good in the wet, handled the 388hp of my 265 in the wet so well and dry grip is excellent.

  27. Just a bit of a heads up on the 5's, i did Oulton Park on the 5th December, it was cold and dry to start with, so was running my 595's, as the day progressed it got damp and wetter, so the asymmetric 5's went on.

    On looking at my video's for the day, i was 9 seconds slower on the 5's in the wet.

  33. Have no idea - one says Audi so I would avoid that one? Might be a special rim fitment for Audi or something, I have no idea.
     
  34. MO Mercedes
    AO Audi
    N3 Porsche
    MFS flange protection
    XL extra load
    SI euro noise compliant
    ....go with XL

    also why not go size larger 235 40 18 more choice plus look way better

  35. The Audi AO one has been manufactured to Audi's own specification for their cars. Only buy if you have an Audi!

  36. 235`s are not stretched over the wheel like a 225 is.Makes a standard arch gap look even bigger.
    I swear the car rides better on 235`s as well..but many will disagree..
    must be a reason why Renault had 235`s on the R26.

  40. What do you mean by that statement, i they were so good in the wet on track, the only cars that went passed me were on full race wets and they weren't getting away that much.
    on the road they are stonking, going to be putting them on the R26 when i need them.
